"Have you all heard? Danzō -sama personally led a team yesterday and rescued the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki and Hyuga Muno's eldest daughter!"
"I heard about it last night …"
"It is said that they were rescued from the hands of the traitor Orochi Maru. If it weren't for Orochi Maru's quick escape, I'm afraid he would have been killed by Danzō -sama as well …"
In the streets and alleys of Muye, people gathered in groups of twos and threes to discuss.
And the topic of discussion was all about the victory that Danzō personally led a team to rescue the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki and Hyuga Muno's eldest daughter. In just one night, the news had spread like wildfire.
What was even more coincidental was that Danzō's action to rescue the Nine Tails' Jinchuriki and Hyuga Muno's eldest daughter happened to be the day before the village held a vote of confidence in the Three Generations.
With this rescue operation, Danzō's reputation in the village soared.
In the past, the villagers only heard that the village had an advisory elder named Danzō. As for what kind of person Danzō was, what kind of achievements he had, and other details, they had no idea.
Not to mention the ordinary villagers, even the ninjas of Muye who were really familiar with Danzō were not many.
Most of the middle and lower Muye ninjas only knew that there was a secret agency in the village called "Root", and Danzō was the controller of this agency.
It was also because Danzō had been hiding in the dark that his prestige in the hearts of ordinary villagers was not high. So even if he forced the Three Generations to step down, it would not be easy for him to directly take over. After all, the village still had Jiraiya and Tsunade who met the requirements of Naruto, so he and Orochi Maru teamed up to conduct this rescue operation.
Undoubtedly, under the vigorous propaganda of the Root ninjas, this self-directed rescue operation has achieved a very good effect, because the village that has suffered setbacks is in urgent need of a victory to vent their emotions and boost morale, and Danzo gave the village a victory at this time, satisfying the psychological needs of most of the Konoha ninjas!
Naruto's office.
The Three Generations stood in front of the window with their hands behind their back, looking at the rebuilt village.
Because of the unified planning, the layout of the rebuilt village was more reasonable than before. Various areas were maximized. This made the reconstruction of the village cost a lot of money, but the effect was obvious. In just a few months, the village was almost restored to the prosperous scene before the catastrophe.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were also in the office, but their faces were a little gloomy.
Swish …
Suddenly, an Anbu landed in the office, first bowed to the Three Generations, and then reported: "Naruto Sama, the vote of confidence has begun!"
The Three Generations waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, you can leave now."
After the Anbu left, Tsunade frowned and said: "Sensei, are you going to let him do as he pleases?"
The 'he' that Tsunade was referring to was obviously Shimura Danzo, who single-handedly caused this trust vote farce.
The Three Generations sighed and said with a tired expression: "Naruto's position carries too many people's expectations. Since he wants to try, let him try."
Jiraiya was a little confused: "Is it really appropriate to give the village to a person like Danzō?"
The Three Generations looked at Jiraiya and said unhappily: "It's because you are not willing to take this burden!"
Jiraiya shrank his neck and shut his mouth.
When Danzō created public opinion in the village against the Three Generations, the Three Generations had already decided to bear the responsibility of the village being destroyed, remove Naruto's position, and let Jiraiya replace them as the fifth generation Naruto.
It was a pity that Jiraiya, who was used to being undisciplined, directly rejected the proposal of the Three Generations. As a last resort, the Three Generations looked for Tsunade, and the result was the same as Jiraiya. Tsunade refused almost without hesitation.
Looking at the two disciples in front of him, the Three Generations had a headache. Every time this happened, he would unconsciously miss the Four Generations' Naruto Minato, who died early.
Time passed little by little, and the three people in Naruto's office fell into silence. No one spoke again, quietly waiting for the final result of the vote.
After a long time, Shimura Danzō, Zhuan Xiao Chun, Uchiha Fuyue, Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku, and several other high-level Muye members, as well as the leaders of the noble families, came to Naruto's office.
Dong …
Slamming the cane in his hand heavily on the ground, Danzō announced to the Three Generations, "Hizen, the results have come out. Unfortunately, you did not pass the vote of confidence of all the Jonin Jonin."
Zhuan Xiao Chun took over the conversation and said, "Hizen, from now on, you will remove the title of Naruto. However, as the leader of the Three Generations, you have the qualification to nominate the next Naruto. Do you have anyone to choose from? "
The Three Generations were not surprised by the result of the vote.
As the head of the five great shinobi villages, Muye Village, which has survived the three great shinobi wars, was destroyed overnight. No matter what, someone must stand up and take the blame.
Therefore, the Three Generations calmly accepted the result of the vote and looked at Jiraiya and Tsunade.
However, both Jiraiya and Tsunade avoided the eyes of the Three Generations and turned their faces to the side.
If the Three Generations were gone, driven by a sense of responsibility, some of them may stand up and take the burden of Naruto, but in the case of the Three Generations, they have no desire for power, so they are not interested in Naruto's position.
Seeing the silence of the Three Generations, Zhuan Xiao Chun sighed.
After the Three Generations stepped down from the position of Naruto, the advisory elders of the village are qualified to nominate the next Naruto, and Zhuan Xiao Chun encountered the same embarrassment as the Three Generations, that is, there is no suitable candidate for the position.
Jiraiya and Tsunade are obviously unwilling to take over the position of Naruto, and the new generation of Naruto, such as Kakashi, Mute, and others, are lacking in strength and prestige, so they can't bear the heavy burden of Naruto and can't cope with the current complex situation in the shinobi world.
At this time, Danzō stood up, glanced coldly at the people in the office and said, "This old man nominates himself to replace Hizen as the next Naruto!"
Uchiha and Fuyue's eyes narrowed when they heard these words, but in the end, they remained silent.
Although Danzō's attitude towards Uchiha is bad, he is, after all, alone, and in order to ascend the position of Naruto, he completely turned against the Three Generations, so even if Danzō takes over the position of Naruto, Fuyue feels that he won't dare to do anything to Uchiha.
Hyuga Hiashi hesitated, but because Danzō just rescued his eldest daughter, Hinata, he can't openly question Danzō, so he chose to remain silent.
Seeing the Three Generations, Zhuan Xiao Chun, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the powerful patriarchs like Fuyue and Hiashi all chose to remain silent, the patriarchs of the other clans represented by Shikaku had to remain silent.
So, in the silence of everyone, Danzō became the only candidate for Naruto …
